microsoft/CopilotStudioSamples is a collection of samples and development artifacts for Microsoft Copilot Studio, a platform for creating conversational copilots and agents. Developers use it to study importable solutions, integrations, deployment guidance, MCP servers, and Microsoft Agents SDK examples. The catalogue entries provide instructions and an agent related to these samples.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.01511 | $0.01511 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00604 | $0.00604 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00302 | $0.00302 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00151 | $0.00151 |
Grade A, and why
CopilotStudioSamples CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts

Adding a New Sample
- Create a folder under the appropriate category (e.g.,
ui/embed/my-sample/) - Add a
README.mdwith front matter:
---
title: My Sample
parent: Embed # Must match the parent page's title exactly
grand_parent: UI # Required for level 3 pages
nav_order: 8 # Position among siblings
---
- Write the README with: description, prerequisites, setup steps, architecture notes
- Name the file
README.md(exact casing) — thejekyll-readme-indexplugin converts it toindex.html
For Power Platform Solutions (authoring/solutions/)
Solutions follow the PnP format:
authoring/solutions/my-solution/
├── README.md # Description, screenshots, install steps
├── assets/ # Screenshots and diagrams
├── solution/ # Packaged .zip file(s) ready to import

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
